Windows by default hides the LNK extension,

And this drive me nuts.

Microsoft saving us (the public*) from seeing anything too much like a computer file, less it confuses our poor little minds. So that we don't see "My virus download that will steal your life savings.txt.exe" as an executable.

So fucking stupid it leave me furious.
